Thousands of years ago there was a solitary and deserted planet. It is said that one day telluric movements caused the eruption from the planet’s center. This eruption gave the necessary climatic conditions to origin the growth of countless vegetation accompanied by gases that produced the life of an animal. This animal discovered by walking through the planet all types of vegetation from vast forests to the wildest jungles. As he admired all that beauty the planet offered his eyes he realized the feeling of loneliness on a planet so wonderful. He questioned himself what he could do to share his life in this beautiful planet. Suddenly he thought out loud: “The greatest feeling that can exist is love and if this is accompanied by a strong willpower my desire of having peers to who share this beautiful planet will be fulfilled”.
Time passed and he kept discovering the planet, one day as the night fall he slept under an enormous and leafy tree. All of a sudden a loud and strange noise awakened him. He walked through the bushes and saw dozens of birds fly, and then he thought aloud: “Hope will be my partner in this journey to follow, I will search and never cease until finding friends with who share this magnificent planet.”
The animal kept walking leisurely in those beautiful plains when in the distance he saw all sorts of animals move. He quickly approached them.
“Who are you?” the animal asked.
“I am an elephant and she is my partner, and she is our friend the giraffe and he is her partner” the elephant answered.
As he kept walking he found more animals and asked them the same question.
“We are buffaloes, we were created by gases” a buffalo in the middle of the crowd answered.
When the animal realized all of them had a partner he was curious and asked, “Have you seen my partner?”
“No, we are sorry.” They answered kindly.
The animal before saying good bye told the elephants, giraffes and buffaloes and all the other animals he found that the planet was a paradise and had all the natural resources they needed, for then it was their task to take care of them and preserve the beauty of the planet for all eternity.
“Of course we have to preserve beautiful our planet” they replied. “We’ll see you soon and hope you find your partner.”
Few days went by and he arrived to a beautiful grassland where he found many different breeds of animals. As he was meeting all kinds of animals he asked if they have seen his partner but the answer was always the same. Until one day a stunning cat approach him.
“I have no partner and you have the same hair color as mine” the big cat said and instantly asked, “Who are you?”
“I am a lion that comes from the center of the planet” the lion said.
“I also come from the center of the planet, but you have beautiful long hair and I don’t.”
“I am the lion that will protect you forever” the lion added, “Let’s celebrate that we are a family and we shall gather with other animals and together become a big family where there will be no borders and only the brotherhood will exists and we will live happily ever after.”
